Serial Port for Out-of-Band Management/Windows Emergency
Management Services (EMS)
The submenu allows the user to configure Console Redirection settings to sup-
port Out-of-Band Serial Port management.
EMS Console Redirection
Select Enabled to use a COM port selected by the user for EMS Console Redi-
rection. The options are Disabled and Enabled.
*If the option above is set to Enabled, the following items will become available
for user configuration:
EMS Console Redirection Settings (Available when EMS
Console Redirection is enabled)
Use this feature to specify how the host computer will exchange data with the client
computer, which is the remote computer used by the user.
Out-of-Band Management Port
The feature selects a serial port in a client server to be used by the Windows
Emergency Management Services (EMS) to communicate with a remote host
server. The options are COM1 and SOL/COM2.
Terminal Type
This feature allows the user to select the emulation type for the target terminal
used for EMS Console Redirection. Select VT100 to use the ASCII character
set. Select VT100+ to add color and function key support. Select ANSI to use
the extended ASCII character set. Select VT-UTF8 to use UTF8 encoding to map
Unicode characters into one or more bytes. The options are VT100, VT100+,
VT-UTF8, and ANSI.
Bits Per Second
This item sets the transmission speed, in bits per second, for a serial port used
in Console Redirection. Make sure that the same speed is used in both host
computer and the client computer. A lower transmission speed may be required
for long and busy lines. The options are 9600, 19200, 57600, and 115200.
Flow Control
Use this item to set the flow control for Console Redirection to prevent data
loss caused by buffer overflow. It will send a "Stop" signal to stop sending data
when the receiving buffer is full and send a "Start" signal to start sending data
when the receiving buffer is empty. The options are None, Hardware RTS/CTS,
and Software Xon/Xoff.

WHEA Support
Select Enabled to support the Windows Hardware Error Architecture (WHEA) plat-
form and provide a common infrastructure for the system to handle hardware errors
within the Windows OS environment to reduce system crashes and to enhance
system recovery and health monitoring. The options are Disabled and Enabled.
High Precision Event Timer
Select Enabled to activate the High Precision Event Timer (HPET) that produces
periodic interrupts at a much higher frequency than a Real-Time Clock (RTC) does in
synchronizing multimedia streams, providing smooth playback and reducing the de-
pendency on other timestamp calculation devices, such as an x86 RDTSC Instruc-
tion embedded in the CPU. The High Performance Event Timer is used to replace
the 8254 Programmable Interval Timer. The options are Disabled and Enabled.
NUMA (Available when the OS supports this feature)
Select Enabled to enable Non-Uniform Memory Access support to enhance system
performance. The options are Disabled and Enabled.
Trusted Computing (Available when a TPM device is
installed and detected by the BIOS)
Configuration
Security Device Support
If this feature and the TPM jumper on the motherboard are both set to Enabled,
onboard security devices will be enabled for TPM support to enhance data integrity
and network security. Please reboot the system for a change on this setting to take
effect. The options are Enabled and Disabled.
Note: Refer to the Supermicro TPM user's guide for more details on how
to install and set up the TPM in the BIOS.
